London - British Airways has insisted that two earlier Concorde incidents reported on yesterday by accident investigators had no bearing on July's crash of the supersonic plane in which 113 people were killed.
In May 1998, a New York-bound BA Concorde had to return to London after parts of its wing fell off. Then in October 1998, it was discovered after a flight that the same Concorde had lost part of its rudder. A BA spokesman said: "These incidents have no relevance to the Air France crash this year at all."
